If the Triumvirate is Singing Nah Neh Nah

Then we know that they have had more than one bottle of this.


In the meantime we had to do it by half – half a Cornish game hen each.


From a winemaking perspective 2020 was an exceptional vintage in the South Okanagan. Temperature-wise, this vintage was the 5th warmest in growing degree days in the last 2 decades. Overall, it delivered exceptional quality grapes of a smaller berry size with abundant ripe fruit and beautifully enhanced flavour profiles. It is a year where the quality will be talked about for years to come, producing wines that are cellar worthy.

Fragrant and fresh, this vintage is approximately 2/3 Pinot Gris and 1/3 Gewürztraminer. The grapes were entirely sourced from nearby vineyards including our Golden Mile Bench and Road 7 estates.  A wine of Character that is a wonderful representation of Oliver terroirs.

They are saying 01 Sweetness, but we didn’t find it off dry.


The character here comes from putting together 6 grape varietals from the estate vineyards on the Golden Mile. Yes there is gold in those grapes as the taste is fruity with citrus and tree fruit flavours to enjoy.


If you have sucked up all the white, remember there is also a Character Red.
